His Design Concept

“Industrial Design is about making mass production easier but it has to develop in order to respond to the demands of customization that makes the production process slower.

In a world of uniformity I try to give distinguishing features to the product to highlight its own identity.

I design because I like to present emotion and comfort to the people.

The idea should become a real object that can be used and must have longevity. I need to feel the soul of the manufactures, to breathe the athmosphere of the workshop, to understand its capability to work with the materials and to share the thought process about ideas and strategies.

Often, my job pushes me to approach several different different design realities like the automobile industry, marine industry, architecture, interior design for stands and stores.

Last but not the least there is communication. I try hard to find the right language to convey sensations and emotions through images and words.”
